Will the mounts available at level 30 have a speed increase, or will they be like the Riding Turtle?

Comment by qwertydood

Call me lazy, but I stopped playing on my 27 lock because it was so tedious running everywhere (I just played on my 70 pally) but now I actually have incentive to level him! Thanks, blizz!

Comment by SyrJoseph

Just yesterday I bought my 40 mount for my shaman. Had I known about this, I would have waited...sucks to be me lolAlthough I did fully pay for it with money from my 70 main...

Never the less, this will make leveling a lot easier for newer players. Just another way to help them catch up with those of us who have been around for a while.

Comment by hardkilla

does it make the lvl 60 mounts be able to get at lvl 50?

Comment by holyshat

this really makes me mad because i am leveling my first account and just hit 51 and i am trying to save for my 60 mount and that extra 50g would have made a big difference thanks alot blizzard

Comment by Koojay

Negative, this patch will not be released on Tuesday. As been stated by multiple blues, this patch has nothing to deal with Season 4, so thus it will not be released when Season 4 is. Also, on the PTR there are way too many bugs for this to release that soon, and there will be premades this testing session, so the session will most likely be a longer one.

Comment by SnottyTiger

I'm guessing that the children started complaining about Druid Travel Forms, Shaman Ghost Wolves, and Hunter Aspect of the Cheetah. I don't know why though, because they all play Hunters anyway. =P Oh well, guess this'll be a good money saver.

Comment by Patman12111

To bad they cant cut the price of the epic flying mount

Comment by trilliana

Not true, my main is a druid. Travel form is great and all, but now that the patch is going to have mounts at 30, I think it's kind of dumb to have travel form come out at the same time you can get a mount.... But that's just me

Comment by abyssnova

wow blizzard thats BS!!!!! thanks a lot for screwing us hardworking WOWers over we really appreciate it.....i %^&*in spent forever tryin to get enough for a mount and levelin juss got it and u do this go burn seriously thats messed up

Comment by Offspring

If you think getting 100g for a regular mount (which should have a discount if you're at least honored with your main faction), then try getting 5,000g for an epic flying mount. That thing is insanely expensive.

Comment by epicshot12

w8 when you go to play wow on june 24th do they automatically download the patch to you. because i dont no how to download the patch to my account.

Comment by Gaeston

I have to say this is one major improvement that Blizzard has made in their string of big changes over the last patch or two. .

What this has done is improved playability and enjoyment of this game. Waiting until level 40 was a major source of frustration for a great many players. I for one, simply hated the tedium of running on foot for a full 40 levels, and saw it as simply a way for Blizzard to waste our time and thus get more subscriptions out of us.

This will make levelling alts more viable for the less dedicated gamer as well as the more dedicated among us, which in effect will use more time and thus net further subscriptions for Blizzard. Nonetheless, it will net subscriptions for the RIGHT reason: because we LIKE to play more, not simply take longer to play.

Those who flame this decision on the basis of people who have previously paid 80g, clearly haven't got the point. Would you rather pay more money and wait longer for a mount simply because people have done it that way before? Or would you rather improve the game? This is the kind of improvement that reduces the frustration element of this game. It doesn't cheapen anything, because getting a 60% mount is merely a matter of time, and everybody has one by level 40 anyway.

What a pleasant surprise this is, and thankyou Blizzard for making this game more enjoyable. This was a welcome improvement and one which was long overdue.

Comment by TheFlamingLugi

This is awesome.

Comment by cfeuer1

2.3.4 is out today and it is still level 40.

Comment by fantab

ok, this is just a cheap thing on blizz's part to get people to lvl to 70 faster so people will buy WOTLK. This is just another ploy to get more money for them, just like reducing the amount of XP it takes to get to 60, although i do see how it could improve the game for people making alts, which i have wanted to do but just hated running all over the game on foot! i just think that it's a little unfair to those who just bought their mounts for 90 gold. i have a friend who has been lvl 30 for 2 months (he doesn't play much) but he wanted his mount so bad and he finally lvled to 40 and bought it. so i just think it's a little unfair to these sorts of people.

Comment by Fonjask

Today, the 25th of June is patch day if I recall correctly. Am not sure, could also be they postpone it because of all the bugs in the Public Test Realms. We'll see.

Comment by solfuros

im lvl 30 now... but i cant buy it in darnassus? the brutal gear is out and u can buy merciless for honor and stuff, but why cant i buy mounts at 30 yet??? :(

Comment by GWARrior

Comment by Addfwyn

This will be a great boon to everyone, as it will encourage more people to level alts (grinding to 30 is SO much easier than grinding to 40) which will then give some nice fresh blood into the game, stimulate the lower end economy and the playerbase a bit more. This is great given the lack of healers and tanks right now, and maybe will even help curtail the flood of Deathknights come the expansion (as players will be infatuated with their new classes still).

Good move on Blizzard's part

Comment by Poisonbug

The patch should be comin out this tuesday

Comment by wowgamer

Sooo its only for the test realm.. not real wow

Comment by kingkhaloofcool

how much we must pay for the mount .....not the riding skill??

Comment by arsenic

I've installed the new patch but the riding trainer (at least the one in Sen'Jin) is still showing level 40 required and costing 81 gold.

Comment by shadowthunder

Hey does any of u know how to get a mount at lv30 i have been lookin for days = (if any of u do know just talk to:Greatdruid or if im not on him u can always talk to Asko plz help i would kindly try and repay u guys<(^_^)>

Comment by shadowthunder

maybe its a dif kind of mount??? o well who knows i dont know for sure but can u tell me how to install it plz i have been lookin for days

Comment by sgtsolidus

price changes depending on your reputation. at exalted its only 9g for the mount.

Comment by arsenic

The last time I opened it to play it said it needed to patch. When the patch was finished installing the change of mounts to level 30 was listed in the patch notes.

Comment by arsenic

Actually, never mind. I must have clicked on the PTR icon rather than the regular one without realizing it.

Comment by lawlmudkipz

Um... it doesnt seem to have been implemented yet... anyone know when it will be?

Comment by KageNinja12

I can see why Blizzard did this, people complaining about waiting till level 40 to get their 60% mount... but i don't really see why it was necessary to make it accessible at level 30. I understand the cost decrease; low level players don't tend to have too much gold, but EVERYONE at 70 right now had to wait till level 40 to get their first 60% mount, it's always been that way, it was never really a problem before...

Comment by BaSikofAH

Update is up and running now. You can get your mount at lvl 30.

Comment by Striker511

Question is now how much are the mounts? Are they still 10g for normal faction? did they lower the price??

Comment by PDavs0

As of patch 3.2.0 this skill can be acquired at level 20. It costs 4 gold for training and 1 gold for the mount.

Comment by FuxieDK

How the )(/&%&/%/& do you train riding at level 20 (or 23 in case of my mage)?

Every train er I talk to, says I need to be exalted with <Insert trainer's capital> before he wants to train me.However at level 23, I'm only honored with 1 capital and friendly with the others. It's not even possible to hand in Runecloth to get the rep up, as it requires level 60 (or so)..

Comment by Kanariya

Soon enough it will be automatically learned upon character creation with a free mount included, and Journeyman Riding at level 5 for 3 copper.
